    • Guides in this section teach about particular components used to build electronic systems.

    • Each of these components is available as a kit to check out.

    • They are designed to get you over the initial step of getting the component working so that you can learn more about it through experimentation.

    • There is a quiz at the end of each guide. Successfully completing the guide and passing the quiz gets you a 'technology badge'.

    • The kits are organized by the functions they perform in an electronic device as shown in the figure. The next guide step describes the eight types of kits.

  2. Microcontroller - kits to learn about the "brain" at the heart of most electronic projects.
    • Microcontroller - kits to learn about the "brain" at the heart of most electronic projects.

    • Circuit Python - kits to learn how to program the microcontroller using a version of Python designed for microcontrollers.

    • Store Data - record data so it can be analyzed later.

    • Sense - measure environmental data like temperature or force and send it to the microcontroller.

    • Input - ways for humans to provide input to an electronic device.

    • Communicate - kits to support sending data between devices or to the internet.

    • Actuate - use a signal from the microcontroller to operate external devices through applying force, switching power, etc.

    • Display - having the device use light or sound to send information.

    • Kits are available for checkout from Matt Lamparter or one of the MakerE techs.

    • Kits are loaned only and must be returned in working condition. You make not integrate the parts of a kit into your project.

    • You will be charged if you fail to return a kit or return a damaged kit.
